Also know instead of placing code in your child theme you could paste any custom CSS in the many custom css plugins or the custom CSS module in Jetpack for example, and PHP code functions into a plugin like functionality.

Alright just so you know I can’t really do Admin access type stuff anymore, I am following some guide from the WordPress.org codex about moderators not needing to gain admin access because they will be going too far, its something like that. I also got a talking to, to stop doing it by some people on this site to, I mostly helped with commercial products because I could find the issue faster if I am more hands on and find a bbPress/theme/plugin bug faster, than telling the users to just ask the theme/plugin author. Plus in this case I do not really need to have an admin account, so you can delete that account you created for me again.
From what I can see the downloaded theme is Jolene and you can just edit the Biker theme since it is already a child theme. If the Biker theme is frequently being updated (which it really shouldn’t), then I guess creating a grandchild theme like what you are doing would be the best approach.
Link to a forum that should have topics.
Do you have topics present in the backend of WordPress??
Hi Rob,
As I said (in an edit of my OP, which you may have missed), I have tried a number of different themes, including twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, twenty twelve, Avada, Oceanic… they all demonstrate the same symptoms, and Avada even supports bbpress (as does, I assume, the WordPress themes). All themes are latest versions.
I know this is a subject that’s well documented but I can’t work out why my topics and replies are not appearing.
After posting a new topic or reply my posts are not displaying unless I change the theme. This would suggest a cache issue on the WP end but I’ve disabled all plugins, including WP Super Cache and Akismet.
This is a clean install of WordPress with a new database on a brand new URL and I’ve tried refreshing the permalinks. I have tried a number of different themes, from the WordPress ones to Avada. This is not a theme issue.
If I have no plugins running (apart from bbpress of course) and no cache plugins, what might be causing this?
Hi aikichick2012,
Do you get other notifications from wordpress (like the ones mentioned by Robkk) ? So are you getting other messages but not the ones from bbpress ?
Pascal.
bbPress 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 do not work with latest versions of WordPress CMS and WP Client plugin.
Will work fine if WP Client plugins are deactivated but as soon as they are activated the forum breaks.
Any ideas?
I cannot reproduce on my wampserver with the permalinks with ID plugin so it is not that.
I did find information about this though, the #038; should be &which makes sense.
If you search for this kind of error in google, you will see countless posts of themes, plugins, and WordPress itself having the issue, So maybe make sure you have everything up to date.
There are some fixes online too, but they are mostly saying edit WordPress core files to fix it
http://localhost/oyster/?post_type=forum#038;p=4
I’m running this locally and installed bbpress, buddypress and a number of bbpress-related plugins. I think this may have been the “bbPress Permalinks with ID” plugin that started the problem but now all my permalinks have gone funny. Here’s what I’ve tried to fix this:
– flushed/changed the permalinks back and forth
– deactivated all plugins
– fresh WordPress install with new site, basic theme and no plugins
Even after trying that third option, with a fresh WordPress install and a new database, my forums no longer worked. The root no longer works, even with a fresh install and no plugins bar the bbpress one.
Any ideas?
Is this a localhost thing? All the database entries are there (they fall within the wp_posts table).
Is there a set procedure for installation, changing permalinks and activating the plugins?
Have I done something the wrong way round?
And why is this still happening with a fresh WordPress installation and new database?
Short of uninstalling wamp and reinstalling I’m at a loss.
Hello!
I am new to wordpress and especially to bbpress. I am setting up a website with a forum which is like a pin-board for my users.
I really like the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” button. But its only for registered users and i dont want to let my users register, it is not really necessarry for my site..Thats why I want it for non-registered users aswell. Is there any option or plugin which allow me this?
I am sure you can help me 😉
Ahh Okay that is what the exact error message is. Time out is a term that could go with a few issues.
If you google that specific error and just add wordpress to the end you will see a few reports of Hosting being the issue, sometimes especially if you use GoDaddy.
So that exact error might just be a server error.
I updated to WordPress 4.3 last night. I’m using bbPress 2.5.8, and the theme is Sprout. It’s at http://www.stacknfade.com/forum
After the WP update, the forum is only visible when logged out EXCEPT with the admin account. Only the admin can see the forum when logged in. All other accounts get a 404 error when visiting that URL. Also, when viewing WP-Admin, none of the forum options are available in the admin main sidebar, e.g., Tools -> Forums, or Settings -> Forums. These are missing.
Help?
I have been changing a bit of translations in the code – that’s why you might find a mistake here. What I don’t understand is, that when I upload all the original files, it still does the same mistake.
Can’t you tell me if there’s some specific files that I should re-upload as original, in case I’ve changed something in them?
What files did you edit, if you did edit any files?? I hope you did not edit the bbPress plugin files in the plugin directory of your site??
I’ve never used child themes before, so I’m not sure how to do this.
This will help you learn about creating a child theme.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
After creating the child theme just copy the bbPress templates to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.
Or second option: Could you rewrite the htaccess hack so it might work? 🙂
You really shouldn’t need an htaccess hack at all, that is why I said don’t use it yet.
Yeah I saw this while searching to see if users had similar issues. I think the error message was displaying in the browser like this user said instead of being on the forums as a bbPress error message.
This user says a fix could be using wp-cron and sending the notifications in the background, which the notify no spam version does.
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/long-script-running-timeout-errors-after-months-of-working-correctly
This error could also be just on the user’s side and all they have to do is clear up their coookies, browser cache, all that browser goodness.
@mei-ling
Did you copy and edit the bbPress templates in your child theme heavily?? Removing the hook @kachan64 pointed out, can make the code not work.
Also does the picture save correctly in the WordPress backend?? If you could link to a forum that should has a topic with a featured image, I can check to see if there is a CSS problem.
When you close a forum/category you can possibly close the topics and sub forums of it. Check and see what forums you have closed in Forums > All Forums in the WordPress backend.
Hi Robkk,
I have tested your code. Well I can select in the admin panel “edit topic” or “new topic” “featured image”, I select the picture…when I turn back to the topic, no picture. It doesn’t remain selected.
I use the latest WordPress: 4.30.
Could you help me?
I thank you in advance
Mei Ling
Its just the WordPress toolbar moved under the header and styled differently.
Okay I have also seen posts saying file permissions and possibly a user created issue messing with comments <!-- comment--> in php files.
You didn’t edit the files in the bbPress right??
Before editing the file permissions you may need to do some more troubleshooting as listed here.

You have the right file permissions set right??

Dear Support,
Please, how can I make my BBPress forum to show the “My Account Link and Submenu” for each logged in user, like the one you that is showing just below the download menu on the top right side of this screen?
BBPress version: 2.5.8
Wordpress version: 4.2.4
Regards,
Stardrive
hey everybody,thank you for your answers, i found that the issue was being caused by this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/show-template/
for some reason was enabled on production.
I added them into the “Simple Custom CSS” plugin, downloaded from wordpress.org.
At the end, it looked like:
@media and (min-width: 992px) {
.bbpress .col-md-8 {
width: 100% !important;
}
}
and
@media and (min-width: 992px) {
.bbpress .col-md-8 {
width: 100% !important;
}
}
It is still not Full-Width 🙁
We really need some help with this. We are using BBPress, RtDating, and Rtmedia. When a user uploads an image to a forum topic the path of the image in the URL is
http://www.oursite.com/wp-content/plugins/ckeditor-for-wordpress/ckeditor/plugins/doksoft_uploader/userfiles/Desert.jpg
Not only does this look like a crazy long path. It seems like poor security. I have seen other sites that just display an attachmentid
How can we sanitize the url and hide all of the paths?
